You can just to be safe, but since it is working in an A/C circuit, it shouldn't be storing a charge.
The 60/5 uf (aka mfd) is a common motor run capacitor and 370vac is a common voltage (but you can go higher, like 440vac). 60mfd is the compressor side and 5mfd is the fan side. They are under $20.
Is that a bulging capacitor?
I took pics for reference. Will that be enough to make sure I get the compressor and fan sides right if I get the 440?
Sorry about the sideways pics. I was unable to straighten them out
